Uridine phosphorylase (UPh; EC 2.4.2.3) is a member of the pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase family of enzymes which catalyzes the phosphorolytic cleavage of the C-N glycoside bond of uridine, with the formation of ribose 1-phosphate and uracil. This enzyme has been

Here we present new routes for the efficient syntheses of 6,5'-(S)- and 6,5'-(R)-cyclouridine. The syntheses utilize readily accessible uridine as a starting material. This route to the R diastereomer is significantly more efficient than previous synthetic efforts, allowing us to
Two series of 5-substituted uracil N(1)-acyclonucleosides, each with a different acyclic chain, were examined as inhibitors of uridine phosphorylase from rat intestinal mucosa, and several against the enzyme from Ehrlich ascites cells. In addition, several 5-substituted analogues of 2,2'-anhydrouridine were
2,2'-Anhydro-1-(3',5'-di-O-acetyl-β-D-arabinofuranosyl)uracil, C13H14N2O7, was obtained by refluxing 2',3'-O-(methoxymethylene)uridine in acetic anhydride. The structure exhibits a nearly perfect C4'-endo ((4)E) conformation. The best four-atom plane of the five-membered furanose ring is O-C-C-C, involving the C atoms of the fused five-membered oxazolidine ring
